Fouk - Elevator Groove

Outplay’s third vinyl release will be from young Mancunian artist Loz Goddard. With releases on Large Music and Editorial he has been making a great impression with his combination of disco and beatdown house. A well balanced blend between samples and synth work makes this a varied EP and a great showcase for Loz’s sound. Outplay’s own Fouk takes care of the remix, turning the lush “It Will Come To Me” into a solid dance floor track with added bass line groove.

Detroit Swindle - That Freak Stuff (Soulphiction Raw Version) // Exotic Refreshment

@RAFREZA is a Toronto prodigy. On more nights than not, he can be found grooving on either side of the decks: from warming up the weekend at Technics-outfitted dive bars to blending between several shades of club music early Sunday morning. He is most at home where there is music and a dance floor. So much so, in fact, that he spends his days curating the Dance 12” bins at Toronto vinyl institution, June Records. Within the last five years his contribution to Toronto’s dance music scene has been voracious, multifaceted and inspiring. 
Born in Tokyo to Bangladeshi parents, Raf’s family moved to Toronto when he was nine. However, it was a family trip to the UK which sparked his interest in electronic music. The late 90s sounds of french house, UK garage, and progressive house gripped his attention and never let go. And so electronic music consumed the bulk of his psyche within those pre-club, formative years. At 17, he began to collect vinyl in pursuit of new sounds and an opportunity to DJ. To this day, his musical thirst remains unquenchable and Toronto (and the world) is all the better for it.
Raf’s studio productions mirror the multifaceted nature of his DJ sets. He draws melodic and rhythmic considerations from a broad range of dance music both old and new to create contemporary club music with compositional appeal. His debut 12” EP, PROTO, is a modern inflection of classic Electro Boogie and is the second release from Cosmic Resonance Records.This record was written, performed, recorded and mixed by Raf Reza. Mastered by Andrew Seok at BUMP Music.

Exclusive Premiere: Raf Reza "Why You Gotta?" (Cosmic Resonance)

Paris' dance music scene is really thriving at the moment.

Drawing from a roster of young and obscure producers, the imprint is providing that fresh injection of talent and no more is that obvious than with KX9000's new EP 'Trouver 'X''.

One year only after the release of his debut EP "Déclaration Préalable à l’Embauche", Tour-Maubourg quickly became one of best promising producers of the French house scene thanks to its music full of melancholic and nostalgic jazzy house sounds. After some other releases, including EPs signed on Folamour's FHUO and on FINA - thanks to which he has gained the support of many artists such as Laurent Garnier, Todd Edwards, Moomin or Osunlade to name a few - the young Parisian producer is back with a new 5 tracker "Solitude Collective" due on October 5th via Pont Neuf Records.

Riot Party

Ann Arbor

After a first EP released earlier this year on Folamour imprint, FHUO, Madcat is back with a second maxi entitled The Doors of Perception, coming on Pont Neuf Records on December 7th. The Parisian producer - who first released some tracks Pont Neuf compilations Habemus Paname before experiencing a first success with Petite Musique de Chanvre on FHUO - shows all his groovy touch on this new 4 tracker that appears as a door open on his many influences from jazz, funk and hip-hop, both catchy and mystical with its name in tribute to Aldous Huxley. The EP opens on ‘Le Jeu du Roi d’Ur’, as a downtempo introduction with a disco atmosphere and a heady vocal. The second track ‘Pardès’ - literally «garden» or «orchard» - appears as a dancing ride with its catchy bassline and dreamy melodies. ‘Call  Me  Ishmael’, makes the listener jump on these guitar riffs and a smashing jazzy and funky rhythmic part. Finally, ‘In-Yo’, appears as a closing track divided into two phases, first with a mental deep house part before completing the maxi with an irresistible funky finale.

"In the beginning, there was Thump: the primordial groove of the universe.

In the beginning, groove was harmony and harmony was a groove.

Long before the age of humans, the Thumpasaurus roamed the Earth, serving the cosmos as the teachers of the Thump. The Thumpasaurus helped distribute secret wisdom to all life and non-life forms." -excerpt from The Book of Thump.

Today, we present a series of club-oriented re-imaginings from the Book of Thump. We are not trying to re-write the tales or stories, but rather provide a new context for the same teachings and mythical proverbs. Fouk, Cody Currie, Friend Within embark on an interstellar voyage to assist in this quest for new knowledge and insight. Voyagers like Sam von Horn, Danny Goliger, Henry Was, Benny Bridges and Justin Jay also bring forth their own interpretations of the eternal tales encapsulated​ in the Book of Thump. If we are ever unsure of what the stories mean, we can always look to the Book itself for guidance: as chapter 2 of the Book exclaims, "Dance Like It's Your Life!" Enjoy.

We just say Fouk.

For Daniel Leseman & Junktion (Hans Peeman), successful producers on their own merits and friends since childhood, a collaboration was inevitable. Their house sound infused with disco and a lot of funk has been proven to be very infectious.

After the infamous Detroit Swindle signed them to their Heist imprint and released the booming Kill Frenzy EP their name was established firmly to a broad and quickly growing audience. The result was requests for DJ sets across Europe, the America’s & Australia with personal highlights including Glastonbury, LoveBox, Concrete Paris, Output New York, Club Space Miami, Claire and De Marktkantine in Amsterdam.

Their first vinyl release as Fouk, on their own Outplay Records was met with great enthusiasm, the brilliant reactions to ‘Stuff Your Dad Liked’ and ‘Cat Lady’ propelled Fouk and Outplay firmly into the scene as the ‘one to watch’. Since then they’ve released EP’s on Room With A View, The House of Disco and Razor-n-Tape and made a string of strong remixes for the likes of Kraak & Smaak, Smoove & Turrell, Groove Armada, The Brand New Heavies, Luke Million, Joey Negro and Mayer Hawthorne.

After releasing ‘Release The Kraken EP’ featuring Thumpasaurus on The House of Disco, ‘Truffles EP’ on Heist Recordings in 2019 and two EP’s on their own Outplay offshoot ’24 Carrot’ they return again on Heist in 2021 with ‘Blue Steel EP’. Continuing to build on the sound they have evolved throughout the years with a new impulse of creativity.
